Speedy delete declined. Article violates WP:NEO as a non-notable neoglism and almost seems to be spam for the website 8bitrocket.com as that is the entire basis for the article. Redfarmer (talk) 18:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - neologism. May become a more notable term but fails WP:CRYSTAL and the off-topic nature of the article does not help. --JustaHulk (talk) 19:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

- Comment. It is trying to bridge the gap between hardcore gamer and casual gamer. I think all of the articles could be merged into a single discussion such as under Video game#Demographics, if they were cleaned up. Ham Pastrami (talk) 22:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Update. I've added more information about being a mid-core gamer based on the news article where I've first seen the concept. Intathin (talk) 02:10, 7 February 2008 (UTC +1)
- Comment. I don't see the article as neologism compared to the other two articles that it is compared to: hardcore gamer, casual gamer. Intathin (talk) 02:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC +1)
- Comment: New source is an article in a French PC magazine called Canard Plus. I'd be inclined to say one magazine article is still not enough to establish the notability of a neoglism and that the hardcore gamer and casual gamer articles might need to be looked at too and possibly merged and deleted.
